TRADITIONAL IDEOLOGICAL AND ARTISTIC COMPONENTS IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE OF CHINA. THE COMPARATIVE APPROACH

The article is devoted to the problem of approaches to the formation of a methodology for studying the formation of continuity of images in Chinese architecture at the end of the 20th - first quarter of the 21st century. It is shown that the components of traditional architecture, taken for granted in a certain period, grow and evolve, and with them, architecture also changes in accordance with changes in worldview, lifestyle and social structure. A comparative analysis of significant buildings indicates that contemporary Chinese architecture remains true to its civilisational imperative. Architects keep the system of traditional images, only change the design instructions, use modern construction materials. It is argued that architects embody Chinese culture and worldview in their projects, thereby preserving a unified mental field.
